I'm not a big fan of chafer meals, but I'll get back to you when I've thought on this a bit. Do you think you couldskip the chasers if mist of the food was make ahead and you got someone to help plate and seve?

Yes, that's a possibility. I'm sure my sister and my wife would help plate and serve. But it's at my mom's home and IMO her home isn't set up well for a sit down dinner for that many people (12-14). Now we could use the patio area as a dining area and set it up outside. That area is large enough to do that kinda thing, but my mom lives in the woods and bugs could be an issue If we did it outside I would assume that the lighting would have to be very dimmed or people would need to eat by candle light, which could also be nice too.

That's why I thought of the chafer meals. People can mingle and feast as they please without any restrictions.
